The only thing Small about this MIS... is the price!
Keeping in tradition with Tharstern's previous market leading solutions, SmallPrint®, is designed to streamline a printers workflow, reduce administration time, and identify Key Performance Indicators unique to printers, enabling you to make informed decisions regarding your business.
From creating the original quote through to production, delivery and invoicing SmallPrint® comes complete with the modules and functionality to help run and manage your business.
Bigger and better than before
SmallPrint® v4 is the recently introduced new version and benefits from a wave of new features and many more improvements, that appear within it’s immensely popular ‘bigger’ sister TharsternSQL™ T4; making it even bigger and better than before!
Tharstern MIS solutions have always been perceived as user-friendly systems but with v4 we wanted to give the user a better and faster experience, allowing the option to customise the interface, making it easier to get around the system and do their job.
An enhanced user interface to give users a better and faster experience, improved Digital Estimating and Roll Label Support and the addition of Outwork Management are just a few of the additional features to equip you with the tools to streamline your workflow, reduce administration time and identify Key Performance Indicators unique to printers; enabling you to make informed decisions regarding your business. The addition of the Task Manager can be really helpful too, helping users to better manage and prioritise their own (and other colleagues) tasks to get things done, all within SmallPrint®.
Estimate profits not just the price
Estimating the right price and responding quickly can determine winning the business. Getting the price right is all very well but we know it's a fine balance to achieve, especially when margins are so tight.
SmallPrint® has been engineered specifically to quote print jobs, even with the most basic of job requirements, to create professionally consistent quotes. The easy-to-use and intuitive Estimating interface lets you build every aspect of your estimate quickly, simply and with precision. The end result.. you can respond quickly to customers with accurate prices and data that can be re-used throughout without having to be re-entered.
Picture the production
Job Costing is at the heart of any commercial printers requirements.
SmallPrint® Job Costing & Production allows you to convert the estimates you have won into jobs without the need for double entry; saving you administration time and giving a single point of entry for all related job activities to help control, manage and cost jobs throughout your entire workflow.
Buy, Buy Buy
Effective Supply Chain Management is key to ensuring raw materials and the right stock are in place to fulfil a job on time.
Purchase Order Processing helps you to effectively manage and control the purchasing cycle to ensure raw materials and stock in place to fulfil a job on time.
Outwork Management
Ensure you get the best price for outwork and select suppliers you can rely on with the Outwork Management facility to help manage and control the outsourcing of work.
The Outwork Management facility is ideal for any printer who outsources work by offering a more structured, yet simplified, method to communicate with suppliers and ultimately help to reduce the costs of outwork and improve the purchasing processes.
Money, money, money
Let SmallPrint® talk to your accounts package to remove the duplication of effort and take care of your finances and cash-flow.
The Accounts link seamlessly integrates with ubiquitous Accounts packages such as Sage Line 50 and Sage Instant Accounts for powerful credit control and to handle your sales and purchase transactions.
